ConfidenceThe selected source is within 25 NM of the destination.
Nearest aviation candidates: KBHB 7.8 NM, KRKD 46.6 NM, KPWM 104.3 NM.
Hourly seas: NWS coastal marine-grid wave height is preferred when available. Gaps fall back to the latest NDBC wave observation projected with forecast wind; fallback values are planning estimates, not NOAA wave forecasts.
Verdict: Go, Caution, No-Go, or Incomplete is derived from the boat limits you select for wind and seas.
